Real analysis. Smarter reads. A deeper understanding of the card.
The stored numbers are close enough that this is a fight about execution and adjustments rather than one obvious mismatch.
Andrade's wrestling (2.1 takedowns per 15) against Blanchfield's striking is the central exchange: Blanchfield stops 78% of attempts on record.

Scheduled for five rounds: 25 minutes changes the pace math, and a fighter who banks two early rounds can afford to manage the fourth.
